THE LOWDOWN

AUSTRALIA WOMEN

• Australia were flawless across the group stage and here they look to book a return trip to the Women’s T20 World Cup final against the side they defeated to lift their last T20 World Cup back in 2020.
• The biggest challenge for Australia will be how they respond should they find themselves behind at any point in this game, when considering that they dominated all four group matches throughout and are yet to face an opponent of India’s quality.

INDIA WOMEN

• India made no mistakes against Ireland in their final group game, sealing a place in the semi-finals, but the juggernaut of reigning champions Australia now stands between them and the final.
• If they are to succeed, star player Smriti Mandhana may have a key role to play with the bat following scores of 52 and 87 respectively.

THE PREDICTION

India know the size of the task ahead of them here, but will approach this contest with no fear and relish the tag of ‘underdogs’. The biggest worry for them will ultimately be what happens should their top order batters fail to fire and whether it may lead to a batting collapse whether they be setting or chasing a target. Australia though, know that even if they were to lose early wickets, there is enough depth for them down the order to rescue themselves. In what is likely to prove a close semi-final, this may wind up being the difference with both teams boasting quality bowling attacks. Therefore, back Australia to overcome India, although expect a much tighter battle than what they became accustomed to across the group stage.
